Jon was born in Pheonix Arizona, but grew up in St. Cloud Minnesota before moving to Minneapolis in 2003 where he now lives with his lovely wife and dog, and a cat which he hates. Having worked on a wide variety of different projects over the years, from music and filmmaking to quantum and theoretical physics, Jon is always interested in learning new things and taking on new challenges. So when he was offered the opportunity to jump into the world of Search Engine Optimization and Web Design he dove right in, having always wanted to learn more about software and website coding. At Spark Logix Studios, Jon enjoys working on a wide variety of websites, facing different challenges every day and helping meet each individual client’s needs.

The story of Western Civilization is one where we are raised to value and appreciate the inventors and thinkers. The creative innovators like Steve Jobs, Orson Welles, and Pablo Picasso, who saw the existing landscape of their respective field, and said “Nope, I’m gonna do something different”. They’re creative. They innovate. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? […]

When staring out across the large sea of web pages, there are a handful that stand out as amazing, mindblowing, and stunningly great. On the other end of the spectrum are the disasters, the website that look like they were drawn with neon crayons and vomit. And in the middle? A ton of websites that […]

Users. Those guys are jerks. Stupid dumb jerks. Today’s ever evolving web design and software trends are becoming more complex, not less. The problem becomes, how do we help dumb people navigate on your website. Obviously you’re not dumb, you’re reading our blog post on User Experience, but you know who I’m talking about. Admit […]

Like the monster from Frankenstein, there are some bad ideas that just keep getting revived by web developers. We here at Spark Logix Studios advocate the townsfolk rising up with pitchforks and torches to destroy the madness once and for all. Think of the children! Won’t anyone think of the children? #1 – Load Screens […]
